Even low end steel Treks such as this are good useful bikes. It was the property of a long ago evicted tenant, and amazingly much of the usable stuff left behind just gets tossed in the dumpster.
If you find another one, I will PM you my address and a sum of money. I am sure an old 820 frame is better than the Nashbar I am riding around now.
